The Israeli occupation’s assault on the city of Jenin and its refugee camp has entered its 44th consecutive day, accompanied by military reinforcements, a suffocating siege, home invasion, and the forced displacement of families.
The occupation army continues to deploy military reinforcements around the Jenin refugee camp and maintains its military vehicles in front of Jenin Governmental Hospital, with tanks positioned near the refugee camp.
The army is preventing local and international press crews from entering the refugee camp to document the destruction and cover the occupation’s violations against the citizens.
On Tuesday, three young men were killed in Jenin Governorate. Jihad Alwana (21 years old) was killed after being shot in the thigh in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin city.
The soldiers also killed Aysar Al-Saadi the army invaded the Al-Ghoul building and detained his body.
Ahmad Mufid Al-Kilani from the town of Silat al-Harithiya was killed when occupation soldiers shot him near the Homesh military roadblock between Jenin and Nablus.
The Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the eastern neighborhood of Jenin city after widespread destruction of infrastructure, streets, and power lines. The soldiers also blew up an apartment and forced several families to leave their homes.
In addition, the soldiers abducted several young men from the neighborhood before their withdrawal, including the brothers Saber and Islam Jarboa’, who were displaced from the camp to the eastern neighborhood.
Bashir Motlaq, Director of Public Relations at Jenin Municipality, told WAFA news agency that the occupation army aims to destroy all aspects of life in the Jenin refugee camp.
He added that the municipality crews managed to enter only 10 meters into the camp, revealing massive destruction in everything within the camp.
Motlaq confirmed that the occupation has redrawn the refugee camp through bulldozing operations, widening streets, and closing many of them. All the bulldozing and destruction operations in the camp’s neighborhoods aim to eliminate it.
Regarding the losses, Motlaq said it is difficult to provide accurate figures due to the ongoing offensive and the continued presence of occupation soldiers who prevent crews from performing their work.
He noted that estimates indicate losses in essential services, streets, and infrastructure amounting to millions.
So far, the occupation army has displaced around 20,000 residents of the Jenin refugee camp, who have been distributed across approximately 39 towns and localities.
The army is working to change the camp’s features through systematic destruction that has completely affected 120 homes and partially damaged dozens more.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army has conducted 336 invasions, searches, and field interrogations, and drones have carried out around 15 bombing attacks, and continues to close all entrances to the Jenin refugee camp with earth mounds.
So far, the unprecedented assault on the city and refugee camp of Jenin has resulted in 30 deaths in Jenin Governorate, in addition to dozens of injuries and the displacement of thousands of citizens from their homes in the camp and several neighborhoods of the city.
Since the beginning of this year, Israeli soldiers have killed at least 96 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank: 43 in Jenin, 18 in Tubas, 14 in Tulkarem, 11 in Nablus, 5 in Hebron, 2 in Bethlehem, 1 in Jerusalem, and 1 in Qalqilia.
